Taylor Coronel, Summer 2016 Law Extern

Taylor Coronel UO Law Class of 2018 "I first learned about ELAW when Staff Attorney Jennifer Gleason gave a presentation to my Environmental Science class at the University of Oregon. I was immediately inspired by ELAW's work and began volunteering.

The experience gave me a passion for environmental justice and was a big factor in my decision to apply to law school. Interning for ELAW as a law student has been incredibly rewarding. I have learned so much, and it has been a pleasure working with the dedicated and talented attorneys and staff."

Lauren Finkelstein, Summer 2016 Intern

Laurel Finkelstein Middlebury College Class of 2018
"I am a born and bred Eugenian, so I grew up knowing about ELAW and hearing about its victories. I decided to pursue an internship at ELAW to see what working in the world of environmental policy looks like in practice, and where I might fit into that world.

Being at ELAW has shown me that working in the environmental realm is not all about defeats, and that a small organization can use policy to make an important and lasting impact on environmental health around the world."

Dalton Fusco, Winter/Spring 2016 Volunteer

Dalton Fusco UO Class of 2016 "Getting to go through old files and celebrate ELAW's 25 years of victories showed me how far of a reach one organization can have. This is truly a global community working towards a healthier planet."
